Homecoming

The Northwestern Foundation and Alumni Association helped Northwestern’s homecoming committee narrow down a theme that reflected genuine Ranger pride for current students, faculty, employees and alumni. This year’s theme – “Get Rowdy! Homecoming 2018” – emphasizes Northwestern’s belief that tradition plays an important role in homecoming. When the theme submission time period is open in spring 2019, please use the homecoming theme entry form on this page to submit your idea for a homecoming theme.

“Rowdy has been part of the Northwestern family for decades and a symbol of Ranger pride,” Dr. David Pecha, general chairman, said. “The homecoming committee hopes this year’s theme will provide an opportunity for engagement and involvement by the student body as well as the local community. As alumni return home, they will be greeted by a familiar symbol of Northwestern tradition.”
